Restigouche: The Long Run of the Wild River is a historical novel that tells the story of the Mi'kmaq people and their struggle to protect their traditional lands from encroaching settlers. The novel is set in the Restigouche River valley in New Brunswick, Canada, and spans a period of over two hundred years, from the arrival of the first Europeans in the region to the present day.

The novel's protagonist is Francis Xavier Wabanaki, a Mi'kmaq warrior and chief who leads his people in a series of battles against the British and the United States. Wabanaki is a complex and tragic figure, a man who is both a fierce warrior and a devoted father and husband. He is also a man who is deeply torn between his desire to protect his people and his desire to live in peace.
